School Bus

A school bus is a type of bus designed, manufactured and used for student transport: carrying children and teenagers to and from school and school events. The first school bus was horse-drawn, introduced in 1827 by George Shillibeer for a Quaker school at Abney Park in Stoke Newington, north-east of London (UK), and was designed to carry 25 children.

School buses are the primary vehicle used for student transport in North America, and are distinguished from other types of buses by design characteristics necessitated by federal and state/provincial regulations. Federal safety standards require school buses to be painted school bus yellow and equipped with various forms of warning and safety devices specific to them. This service is almost always provided without charge to families.
